Description
Guess who hasn't done one of these in MONTHS. Sorry it takes me forever to do new pages but... you know... college. Plus I'm working on a buttload of other stuff at the moment which I hope you lovelies will like just as much. I've been getting kinda irritated though because I keep looking back through this series and I've been doing it for so long that the art style has significantly improved since page one.

Oh well. Onto the entries!

===============================================================================

Electrode
One of the most interesting pokemon that one can encounter in the Kanto region is the Electrode. It appears to have once been a water-faring crustacean that had adapted a trait similar to that of the electric eel, giving it the ability to generate electricity. Since its migration to land, that skill has enhanced significantly, allowing it to generate strong currents of electricity that it can emit and use to electrocute prey. Luckily, these electric shocks are not lethal to any creatures larger than say, a large rat. However, when provoked this creature can release a sudden burst of energy and allow it to either make an escape, or attack its disoriented foe. The Electrode also has four short legs which it can retract into its body, effectively turning it into a ball that can roll faster than it can walk.
The young Electrode, often called a 'Voltorb,' is similar to its adult counterpart in almost every way except that it rarely opens its legs, and prefers to roll whenever it needs to move. Voltorbs tend to stay in one place for a while after hatching, though. Electrodes tend to lay about 5 or 6 eggs at a time during their mating season. When the young hatch, they spend months sharing electricity with each other as they grow.

Exeggutor
A vicious hunter, the Exeggutor is widely considered to have some of the most useful, albeit bizarre evolutionary characteristics of all animals. With what appears to be massive leaves sprouting from the back of its neck, many believed that the Exeggutor was a plant-based animal akin to the Venusaur or Vileplume. However, when one was finally captured and studied, it was revealed that the large leaf-like appendages coming from its neck were actually made entirely of flesh. These appendages have a couple of functions. Being a warm-blooded creature native to a safari, it is extremely easy for a furless creature to overheat; these 'leaves' can be used to shed some of the Exeggutor's internal heat, much like the long ears of a desert rabbit. Their large size also provides ample shade for the Exeggutor's head and neck-based egg sacks.
Another incredibly interesting feature of the Exeggutor's physiology are its egg sacks. The female Exeggutor has four large sacks on her neck where baby exeggcutes gestate. While scientists continue to study the Exeggutor, it is unclear why the babies grow on the neck.
The Exeggutor gives birth to anywhere between four and sixteen Exeggcutes. Many of these babies will not survive to adulthood, as like human children they are born prematurely, and need to be taken care of until they are large enough to hunt on their own.

Marowak
Marowaks are one of the most intelligent species of lizard on the planet. They are in fact so smart that they have what appears to be a growing culture which seems to revolve around bones. Marowaks are dangerous hunters with extremely thick bones and an ability to use tools. They will kill and devour just about any creature, and use that creature's bones as either a weapon or armor. It is incredibly rare to see a Marowak's face, as they seem to find it indecent to not be wearing the skull of another creature. Traditionally, these skulls are skulls of large animals that they have killed themselves, showing their dominance and skill in battle, but many groups of Marowaks have communal 'bone pits' where they may find skulls to wear. Many people nowadays fear Marowaks, as some recent reports have suggested seeing marowaks wearing human skulls, but these reports were never confirmed. In fact, Marowaks seem to act relatively tame around humans. Leading biologists theorize that Marowaks respect humans for having a similar culture.
Marowaks also have a very human-like relationship with their young. Given that their eggs are so large, they usually only have liters of one or two, and therefor have a chance to connect with their children. The young Marowak is called a Cubone, and is the face of many very depressing stories. It is an urban legend that Marowaks die shortly after laying their eggs. The legend follows that it is customary for a Cubone to then devour its mother and wear her skull as its first piece of armor. This is completely untrue, however. In fact, the Cubone's mother is usually the one who finds a skull for her child to wear. These skulls are usually Marowak skulls, and pulled from communal 'graveyards.' Cubones always wear Marowak skulls because they are much thicker than other skulls, and can protect their heads from blows that would prevent them from growing correctly, and is also assumed to have some cultural value.
